selectedObjectChanged

Description

Handle the selectedObjectChanged message if you want to perform some action when an object is selected.

  repeat for each line thisObjectID in the selectedObjects
    send "addToPalette" && thisObjectID to stack "Object Palette"
  end repeat
end selectedObjectChanged
